Toxic sunscreen is no bueno and it’s hurting you!

... Read moreChemical sunscreens often contain harmful ingredients that not only irritate the skin but can also negatively impact marine life and contribute to environmental pollution. Toxic chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate can seep into the ocean and harm coral reefs. By opting for mineral sunscreens, such as those with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, you can protect your skin from UV rays without compromising your health or the environment. These sustainable options are biodegradable and safe for aquatic ecosystems. This summer, consider brands that prioritize organic and eco-friendly formulations to ensure your skincare routine aligns with your values of sustainable living. Additionally, pay attention to ingredient labels and seek products that are free from harmful additives. Your skin, and the planet, will thank you for making the switch!

What’s a self-care trend is actually toxic?
Pushing beauty routines on young kids. A 9 something old doesn’t need to exfoliate and lather on day serums and night creams, or beg their parent to drop $100 on “special face potions” and silk pillowcases, like they’re just kids ffs. Kids’ skin is delicate, and their focus should be on playing out
